REST

One of the few times I have ever taken a nap was this afternoon (Saturday) after I fed me and mom and my furbabies. It wasn't a long nap but nevertheless I woke up refreshed from it. I haven't had much sleep time lately, which is ok. I am not complaining at all. I have been busy at work. And my 94 year old mom is so dependent emotionally on me that I finally checked out for a few minutes. And me and my cats napped. It's important to realize that we all need rest. We all need activity but rest prepares us for activity.In a word, we must put the oxygen over our mouths first before we can help our child sitting next to us when the cabin pressure falls. We have to take care of ourselves before we can care for others. God blesses us but He cannot continue to do so if we allow what we have been blessed with to wear down.
